No matter what future you see ahead for your accounts payable (AP) organization, one thing is sure: If your organization is going to succeed in the emerging digital trade and commerce environment, it will need to process transactions more efficiently than ever, have faster access to AP information, and be able to act upon information and identify opportunities more quickly.
This will require AP organizations to transform their processes with digital technologies. Accounts payable departments that delay their digital transformation initiatives risk falling behind their peers and putting their business at a competitive disadvantage in the global business landscape.
This white paper details the growth of digital technologies, the dangers of relying on manual and semi-automated AP payable processes, the benefits of using digital technologies in AP, and how effective change management ensures the success of digital transformation efforts.

This comprehensive white paper applies automation and ITIL best practices to the data center and reviews current industry trends, server automation energy usage issues and a variety of optimization strategies for data center improvement. The effects of virtualization are explored in-depth. Includes detailed sections on increasing operational efficiency using workflow analysis, automating and optimizing server change management, reducing infrastructure complexity and developing security, disaster recovery and business continuity procedures. Step by step instructions for developing metrics and a business case to justify data center and server automation are included.

Collaboration services, email, managed services, and backups and disaster recovery are the most common current use cases for cloud services, according to the results of a new SANS survey on cloud security. The 485 IT professionals who participated in the survey reported using a variety of cloud providers and service models, including software-as-aservice (SaaS) cloud offerings, along with a fairly even mix of infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and platform-as-a-service (PaaS) implementations. Most respondents said they are investing in both public and private clouds as needs dictate.

When it comes to embracing new technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), it’s easy for companies who are curious
to be influenced by extreme examples of success or failure. Indeed, a lot of the stories of failure and disappointment
are often based on exaggerated expectations. However, such stories are not necessarily helpful or instructive for a
company who is considering AI for its business. Instead, a more realistic analysis of the challenges and opportunities
at play is in order. In this white paper, we will analyze both sides of the AI issue and help you discover the right way to
approach your AI journey.

Organizations considering moving enterprise applications to the public cloud should ensure that they also move the application delivery services their applications rely on in the data center. In addition, cloud migration presents an opportunity to organize and rationalize security and access, gain visibility into cloud-based application traffic, and architect a strong disaster recovery plan.

It’s become abundantly clear that the cloud is no longer the future— but the new normal. Enterprises rely on cloud computing for web-based meetings, email, file sharing, and more every day to reduce costs and administrative burdens while enhancing productivity.
With the wealth of benefits to be gained by moving to the cloud—including speed of deployment, cost-efficiencies, and easy scaling—it’s no wonder the shift toward all things virtual has been so pervasive and swift. What’s more, as the cloud has matured, the potential drawbacks that once made enterprises hesitant to make the move are disappearing. Security is now robust, application integration happens with ease, and reliability is a given, not a question mark.
So now that the cloud has become not just viable, but essential, to stay competitive in a rapidly changing world, it’s time to explore how the cloud can significantly improve your contact center operations and guest experiences. This paper will provide one compelling r

The annual RightScale State of the Cloud Survey research team has now joined Flexera—and our newest Report doesn't disappoint. Check out some of our key takeaways for 2019.
The #1 cloud priority in 2019 is cost optimization. Most enterprises already spend over $1 million a year in public cloud, yet users underestimate the amount of their wasted cloud spend.
With companies now running 79% of their workload in cloud, this rapid rise poses a challenge for IT teams whose business units often control the purse strings. How does your cloud infrastructure compare?
This leading survey of 786 corporate cloud users gives you a by-the-numbers look, from small business to large enterprise, from healthcare to government and across a wide range of industries. Get all the details in this eighth annual report. Download it today.
